33. Indonesia's law on abortion is conservative; although a new law was passed in 1992, it has not yet been implemented. See Djohan E et al, 1993. The attitude of health providers towards abortion in Indonesia. Reproductive Health Matters. 2(November):32-40. Some private hospitals, however, like the NGO described here, do provide abortion services, within strict guidelines, to married women who are accompanied by their husbands. See [19] above.
